Meet the 10 youngest players in the 2026 World Cup

The World Cup is well underway, and we have seen players from all corners of the world shine on the sport’s biggest stage.

We have also seen players of all ages shine on the pitch thus far in the tournament. While most players are able to legally purchase an alcoholic beverage in the three host countries – the United States, Mexico and Canada – some are so young that they cannot legally drink.

To legally drink in the United States, you have to be at least 21 years old, and some players in the World Cup are a few years away from being able to enjoy their first beer. In Canada, the legal drinking age is determined by province and territory, but you must be 18 or 19 years old to drink, and not all players meet those thresholds.

In Mexico, you can start drinking at 18 years old, yet there is one player in this year’s tournament who cannot do so. Gilberto Mora, who plays for Mexico in the World Cup, is still 17 years old.
